Why the circuit stops here
The art market’s West Coast week, timed to awards season: collectors, studio money and celebrity buyers in the same tent, with the entertainment industry’s walls to fill.
The money signal
The one fair where the buyer of a seven-figure painting may also be on a billboard above it.
Who's there
Hollywood money, tech collectors driving up from Silicon Valley accounts, LA’s museum boards.
How they arrive
- Private aviation is the default: expect FBO slots and hotel helipads to be the real constraint, not tickets.
